Girl Scouts Celebrates Cookie Bosses

At Girl Scouts, we want to showcase and celebrate our cookie entrepreneurs and the impact the cookie program has had on their lives. As cookies bosses, Girl Scouts develop into confident leaders and contribute to their communities in impactful ways. From goal-setting, decision-making, money management, business ethics and people skills, cookie entrepreneurs learn essential life skills that set them up for a lifetime of success.

We asked seven Cookie Bosses about their experience running the largest girl-led business in the world.

What advice would give girls about the Girl Scout Cookie Program?

Whether it be collecting essential items for the homeless, creating education programs for senior citizens or transforming empty spaces at hospitals into vibrant game rooms, Girl Scouts across the country use their cookie earnings to make a difference—every day. Behind these amazing contributions is the G.I.R.L. spirit driving them to take action. This is exactly why investing in a girl is investing in the world—and all the more reason to celebrate women entrepreneurs!

We're 2.5 million strong—more than 1.7 million girls and 750,000 adults who believe in the power of every G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader)™ to change the world. Since 1912, we’ve built girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place.
